We cordially invite members of the COST Action CA21101 (“COSY”), as well as all interested parties, to Wroclaw, for the Second General Meeting of our COST Action.
The meeting is focused on the experimental and theoretical characterization of confined molecular systems, from those relevant in new materials research, to those playing a key role in astrochemistry. It is an opportunity for active networking between Action members with complementary and highly diverse expertise in confined molecular systems.
The 2nd COSY General Meeting is expected to strengthen existing ones and establish new collaborations between the Action members, it will be also an invaluable vehicle to connect all WGs together, as necessary to achieve the Grant Period Goals.
The meeting will host invited overview talks, as well as invited short talks reporting already active joint projects between Action members, including the ones related to STSM. Additionally, participants will be also given opportunity to present their research expertise in form of invited shorter oral presentations or posters in order to maximize possibility of new collaborations.
The meeting will be organized by the University of Wroclaw (Wroclaw, Poland). It will start on Monday, the 1st of July in the morning and end on Wednesday, the 3rd of July in the afternoon.
The meeting will serve as a platform to connect the five Working Groups (WGs) of COSY: (WG1: red, WG2: brown; WG3: violet; WG4 blue; WG5: green).
